Peony shipments are being rushed at 

 middle western nurseries, now that there 

 have been a few good showers to swell the 

 eyes. 



The Agricultural Appropriation bill 

 passed by the Congress which adjourned 

 last week provides $75,000 for the en- 

 forcement of the plant quarantine law 

 during 1917. The appropriation for 1916 

 was $50,000. 



The suit filed last June by the Stark 

 Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., of Lou- 

 isiana, Mo., against the W. P. Stark Nur- 

 series, of Neosho, Mo., alleging unfair 

 methods of competition on' the part of 

 the defendant, has been dismissed in the 

 local court at Louisiana and transferred 

 to the United States court, western dis- 

 t"rict of Missouri. A registered trade- 

 mark question is involved in the case. 

 W. P. Stark, the defendant, is part owner 

 of the plaintiff's business. 



In its issue of August 17, Printers' 

 Ink, an advertising journal, devotes four 

 pages to the Stark Bros. Nurseries & 

 Orchards Co., under the caption of 

 "Making a Hundred-Year Eecord Yield 

 Advertising Capital." In the main the 

 article is an exposition of how the nur- 

 sery company has used its nation-wide 

 reputation of giving every customer a 

 square deal, and turned its advertising 

 prestige to raising the level of salesman- 

 ship as represented by over 5,000 agents. 

 On these points the article explains the 

 connection with the work of ' ' Stark Tree 

 Talk," the semimonthly house organ of 

 the nursery.
